The municipality of Rio Piracicaba (14,319 inhabitants in 2007; 371.4 sq. km)
is located 130 km of Belo Horizonte. The first settlement, known as São Miguel
de Rio Piracicaba, was founded on 29 September 1713 by the gold miner João dos
Reis Cabral. The municipality of Rio Piracicaba was erected on 30 August 1911 by
State Law No. 556.
The flag is vertically divided into two equal fields,
at hoist, horizontally divided red-white-green, at fly, white with a mining
shovel laden with ore, surmounted by three red stars, 1 and 2, and surmounting
ten small green discs; the whole emblem is surmounted by a red scroll charged
with the name of the municipality in black letters. Red and green represents
Minas Gerais and Brazil, respectively. The shovel represents the mining
resources. The upper red star represents the municipality while the two lower
red stars represent the two districts of Conceição de Piracicaba and Padre
Pinto. The disks represent the settlements of Bairro de Fátima, Bicas, Luiz
Ensch, Córrego São Miguel, Tomé, Ponte Nova, Estiva, Sete Moinhos, Gomes de Melo,
Mutuca and Brandão. Eleven settlements are listed but only ten disks are shown.
The municipal symbols are prescribed in the municipal Organic Law
(Statutes), adopted on 10 May 1990.
"Title 2. The municipality
Chapter I. Preliminary provisions

Article 8
The municipality of Rio Piracicaba
